Imaginary Worlds

Traveling in The TARDIS

If The Doctor offered you a spot traveling with him on his spaceship/time machine The TARDIS, would you go? Would you still go if you knew what happened to all his previous companions?

Traveling in the TARDIS will blow open your knowledge of the universe -- but you'll change in ways you can't begin to predict.

Featuring Sarita Robinson, Emily Asher-Perrin, Alyssa Franke, Frank Collins, Nick Randell and Mac Rogers. Warning: spoilers ahead!Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
